Abstract

This article examines the lifecycle of Slovenian exonyms in which the characteristic stages are the creation of an exonym, its increasingly frequent use, its frequent and general use, its increasingly rarer use or dying out, death, and being forgotten. The presentation of familiarity with Slovenian exonyms is based on an online survey. Analyzing questionnaires increased our knowledge of familiarity with exonyms. The AA. also analyzed the degree of familiarity by respondent’s ages and professions. - (IKR)
